You're more than welcome to have your police state try and take them from us.
If they were able to,
they would've done so by now.

Even in places where you can't carry a firearm, there will
always be people ready to take a stand against criminals with nothing but their fists.

The already existing (and upcoming) gun laws are never enforced on violent gang members -- they're always enforced on law-abiding,
responsible citizens.

Please criminals,
give up your knives while you're at it! :angel:
I usually don't like to get political in my post, but I'm sick of this stupid freaking argument.
For the last time, some people need to stop saying, "they're trying to take away muh guns". No, no one is trying to do that. I just seriously think that maybe something should be done so that it isn't so ****ing easy for anyone to get one.
Which is why I'll say straight up I'm not against personal gun ownership. In a free society, the fact that the arguments for needing something are brain dead does not mean people shouldn't want or own something. Nobody needs a PS4, but I want one. And I like living in a society where I can have one, albeit very theoretically.
BUT
The problem I have with firearm absolutism as espoused by the NRA is that there is no room for common sense. In a place like Germany for example you can get a semiautomatic assault rifle, but you have to get a license, the mother of all background checks, and prove responsible ownership by submitting to random visits. If you don't keep your rifle and guns in separate safes for example, license and guns gone.
Will requiring a license stop all gun violence? Of course not, but that's a ridiculous standard that only NRA ammosexuals would apply to the real world without exploding of shame. But look at the murder rates in Germany compared to the U.S. Think about how many drunken fights didn't escalate in to five funerals because common sense dictates taking a gun in to a bar isn't freedom, but beastly lunacy.
I've yet to see any sensible argument against gun CONTROL. I can understand being against an outright ban on all weapons, but against gun control is insane.
